Why Chris Christie Probably Won’t Be Mitt Romney’s Vice President

As unofficial veepstakes week continues, and as nation exhausts its reserves of possible things to say and think about Tim Pawlenty, attention now turns to one man who likely did not make the cut on Romney’s short-list: New Jersey governor Chris Christie.

Turns out the brash Christie alienated Team Romney for the exact reasons one might expect. Per The New York Times: “Aides and advisers to Mr. Romney, who acknowledge that he was never going to be the safest choice, privately say that they are troubled by Mr. Christie’s temper, calling it unsettling and out of step with Mr. Romney’s temperament. (Indeed, some took it as a clear sign that he will not be picked when Ann Romney said in an interview that she expected her famously button-down husband to select a running mate with the ‘same personality type.’)”

A vice president with the “same personality type” as Romney? So. . .

What household object and/or electronic device and/or former Midwestern governor do you think has the “same personality type” as Romney? Let us know in the comments.
